Description of my issue:
Nicholas,
AT Pro is working great and it's a fantastic extension!! When I first started using it 4 months ago I was getting hundreds of Geo-Block security alert emails, mostly for China IPs. I blocked the 10 highest rated spammer countries and over the past 4 months I now only get about 10 security alert emails per day. I guess the spammers/hackers got tired of AT Pro blocking their bots.
Today I got the first security alert email I've ever seen about Google Public DNS:
IP Address: 8.8.8.8 (IP Lookup:
http://ip-lookup.net/index.php?ip=8.8.8.8
I did a search and found Google Public DNS site: https://developers.google.com/speed/public-dns/
Do you know anything about Google public DNS? Is it something I need to adjust my AT Pro settings for if spammers/hackers are starting to use it with their bots?
I'm not a programmer but this Google DNS service seems interesting since it says it makes your site pages display faster than using the typical DNS.
Thanks for any advice!
